    What's special

    This is a SPOOK-tacular house! Newer kitchen, bath, AC, furnace, roof, gutters, siding, tankless water heater, windows, flooring, garage doors and remotes. Visit with neighbors from the front porch of this 1600+ sf 3 BR home in a desirable NE Rockford neighborhood. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and french doors leading to the back patio which is large enough to entertain many guests. The renovated kitchen impresses with gorgeous granite counters, tons of cabinet space and stainless appliances including a brand new dishwasher. The home has newer windows throughout and you have a panoramic view of the grove-like backyard where squirrels and bunnies chase around all day. There is a small patio outside the kitchen door on the side of the house where a grill could be set up for cooking burgers or steaks. Meals will be enjoyed in the dining room which looks out over the backyard. There is a first floor powder room and laundry as well. Washer and dryer stay. Retreat to the upstairs BRs where you can rejuvenate from the craziness of life. The primary BR is spacious, with windows on 3 sides and two closets. Furniture placement is no problem here. Refinished hardwoods run throughout the second floor. The remodeled bathroom has double sinks so little goblins won't be arguing in the morning. The vanity has plenty of storage space for lots of products and toiletries. All of the expensive work has been done. The basement has room for finishing. The walk-up attic is great for storing out of season clothes. All of this and walking distance to Sinnissippi Park or a few minutes drive to the many venues for shopping and entertainment downtown. Missing out on this BOO-tiful home would be ghostly...I mean, ghastly. Some images virtually staged.
